15 Must-See Hairstyles From the 2016 Grammy Awards

Look no further for the latest hairstyles from the music industry's biggest night.

By Deena Campbell · February 16, 2016October 27, 2020
01
Andra Day

We can always count on Andra Day to bring sophistication to any event. Here, the singer brought back the classic French roll with a touch of class. Paired with decorative hairpins, Andra’s look was, without question, a showstopper. Translation: She slayed!

Ciara

Ciara’s loose ponytail with a few tendrils in the front is one of our favorite looks. To master this look, keep in mind, the messier the better.

Ciara

And it looks just as good from the side!

04
Zendaya

I don’t care how beautiful you are, not many people can pull off a mullet. But, Zendaya, being the hair chameleon that she is, mastered the look. We’re in LOVE!

05
Lalah Hathaway

Purple power! Lalah Hathaway turns heads with purple locs, eyebrows and lips.

06
Vanessa Simmons

Vanessa’s dramatic middle parted straight look was both fun and chic.

07
Beyoncé

Beyoncé strikes a pose backstage with pulled back hair.

08
Lianne La Havas

The always glamorous, Lianne La Havas’ rocked an updo that was a total knockout on the red carpet. The loose pieces in the back added to her sophisticated look.

09
Janelle Monáe

Braids and a chic hat? Yes and yes!

MC Lyte

We love when MC Lyte hits the red carpet, because there’s never anything basic about her hair. Here, she masters a braid-shaved sides combo that worked like a charm.

11
Jazmine Sullivan

Saying that Jazmine Sullivan displayed timeless beauty is an understatement. The singer’s straight hair (paired with bold eyelashes and a red lip) was sheer perfection.

Getty
12
Zuri Hall

Zuri knows that sometimes a long, sleek ponytail is all you need for any red carpet look.

Getty Images
13
Maya

What could possibly be more glam than big, bouncy, natural curls?

Getty Images
14
Yolanda Adams

Like mother, like daughter! Yolanda sports tight curls, while her daughter, Taylor Ayanna Crawford, wears loose beachy waves.

Chrissy Teigen

A very pregnant, Chrissy Teigen looks super glam with pulled back hair.
